TLDR: Use a hotspot off your phone when at the cabin, keep your regular internet at home.

Unfortunately, this really isn't viable. Hotspot data doesn't use your data plan. It's extra. Most of the big providers supply hotspot data as a discreet bucket - you pay for "unlimited data" and get 5/10/15GB of hotspot data on top of that. A couple days of Netflix will exhaust your hotspot data in a couple of days, if that.
The best option, assuming there's coverage, is a fixed wireless "home internet". Those usage plans are actually designed for home internet. Hotspots are for checking emails and stuff like that, not streaming.
